If Today is Your
Birthday
Forecast for 2015-2016

Born
August 2 - Your Year AheadYou can find yourself in big demand this year, and relationships
are in big focus. There can be some ups and downs in social
relationships until you discover a better balance between work and play. It's a good year for getting organized
and for making solid progress with important projects. You can make
significant headway in specific areas this year, and you are likely to
feel a nice sense of direction and purpose...more

If You Were Born Today,
August 2
You are witty, charming, creative, and independent, although you thrive when in
partnership and love the security of a long-term relationship. You are
especially talented at the art of persuasion. This is a good birthday for
entertainers and salespeople, although there is always a need or craving for
down time - a simpler life. Your ability to get what you want can lead some of
you down the wrong path, but rarely for long, as you are also good-hearted and
prefer not to take advantage of others. You are both materially and spiritually
inclined and will do what it takes to live as free from restriction and control
as possible. Famous people born today: Peter O'Toole, Carrol
O'Connor, James Baldwin, Edward Furlong, Mary-Louise Parker.

What's in Store by the Stars:

August 2, 2015

Saturn turns direct today after retrograde motion since March 14th. Our
responsibilities, and perhaps our limitations, are magnified now during the
shift. Over the coming weeks, our long-term goals and plans become clearer,
however. We have a stronger sense of what needs to be done. Even so, a trine
between Mercury and Uranus today opens our minds to progressive thinking. The intuition is
strong, and insights seem to come from "out of the blue". Original, creative
ideas are easy to come by. This afternoon's Mercury-Chiron quincunx is
tricky and can make decisions hard to come by, however, as we tend to doubt our perceptions or the effectiveness of our
ability to solve problems. It can be hard to read the intention behind the
words used to communicate now, which can lead to misunderstandings. The Moon
is in Pisces all day.

Astro Short:

Quote: In a letter to Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung wrote "My studies in
astrology are fascinating...I have come to the firm conclusion that
at the moment of birth an individual takes on the characteristic
state of the Universe for that moment in time."
